Listeria concerns prompt Byron Center ham recall

6,586 pounds of ham products affected by recall

Byron Center Wholesale Meats is recalling about 6,586 pounds of ham products because of concerns over Listeria contamination.

The products were produced without a Hazard Analysis & critical Control Points plan. A U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service agent discovered the company does not have a HACCP plan for fully cooked product or a Listeria control program, thus prompting the recall.

The recalled products bear the establishment number "Est. 2592" inside the USDA mark of inspection. The products were produced prior to March 1, 2013, and were distributed in Michigan and Indiana.

FSIS and the company have received no reports of illness at this time.
